Do a search for 13b into 12a car.
You can notch them out but might need the se oil pan.

That's beacuse the crossmember is set further back for the 12A. You need to slot the holes on the crossmember by 10mm and the holes on the engine bracket by 10mm and it will drop in. Either that or get a Racing Beat 12A to 13B engine bracket.
